I must thank Petersen Industries for the wonderful experience at their plant located at:
4000 State Road 60 West
Lake Wales, FL 33859

They took me on a tour, and of course I got pictures for you all to see. They have some VERY interesting stuff there. They even let me try out one of the trucks to see first hand how to operate a grapple truck. It wasn't very hard and I almost had the hang of it. If you are wondering why I never tried grabbing anything off the ground... this is a NEW truck and they are planning on selling it, so I wanted to treat it with the same respect you'd treat a new car at a dealership.

If you are interested in seeing pics/vids of my tour please check them out here:

verkar ålderdomligt att hålla på med spakar,varför ingen fjärrkontroll ?kan inte vara bra att stå där i alla avgaser.

[FormerWMDriver]

@floddy3831 Jag tror inte att de har en avlägsen tillgänglig dessa lastbilar. Ett förenklat två spak kontrollsystem finns.

English: I do not believe they have a remote available these trucks. A simplified two lever control system available.

nice claw!

[FormerWMDriver]

@TheOTTO2732 Yeah it is! They build those trucks really well.

[Daniel70065]

that is a nice looking truk would love to have it

[FormerWMDriver]

@Daniel70065 Yeah, me too! Maybe someday in the future.

What kind engine is it

[FormerWMDriver]

Thanks! The camera I use is actually a discontinued model Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS. I think they make a new one that's a 1200... but it's a great camera, it's about the size of a cell phone, easy to keep in a pocket.

You handled it buddy. What video camcorder did you use its great quality?

[MitchellM15]

I guess eventually you get the feel for where the different controls sit, like touch-typing on a computer I guess :) Saw the pic of the diagram... thank god for it! hehe
